To ask the First Minister what specific discussions he has had with the Home Office and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities on the issue of asylum seekers.

The answer

The Scottish Executive is in regular contact with the UK Government on a wide range of issues, including asylum seekers. As a result, we have reached agreement that we will review operation of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 in Scotland some 18 months after its implementation. This will have regard specifically to the devolved matters of housing, health and education.
